A dominant bowling display and a fluent chase saw Gujarat secure a comfortable win, tightening the mid-table race in the IPL standings.
Gujarat Titans defeated Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets in the Indian Premier League, delivering a strong all-round performance.
South African pacer Kagiso Rabada led the charge with 3-25, helping restrict CSK early after they collapsed to 28-3 in the Powerplay.
CSK recovered through captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored an unbeaten 74, but the team could only manage 159.
In reply, Gujarat’s batting made the target look modest. Sai Sudharsan starred with an aggressive 87, while Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler provided solid support
to complete the chase with 20 balls remaining.
The IPL remains one of the most followed cricket leagues in the Maldives, and results like this keep the playoff race competitive, with teams tightly packed in the points table.
Gujarat Titans now move up the standings with eight points, while Chennai Super Kings’ chances of reaching the playoffs are becoming more uncertain.
